O.k., first off I think it's actually a sharp picture. I'm not a Kelly fan, but I think this is great marketing.....Geno's World was contacted by a concerned (Possibly insane) leader of a parents group who feels that Kelly's new "direction" is a bit obscene."My girls are long time Kelly Clarkson fans and as a Christian family, I have always supported their love for Kelly because of her wholesome image. Unfortunately, her new CD photo shows Kelly in a sexually suggestive oral situation with a lollipop. The picture is even made more perverse by sparkles on the lollipop which resemble semen. I plan to rally my fellow Christian Mothers and get Kelly back to her wholesome ways!"Somehow, I don't think Kelly has too much to worry about. This lady's e-mail to me went on for several pages talking about everything from cruelty to animals to the dangers of detergent..........Maybe this lady should join Kelly's official fan club:http://www.kellyclarkson.com/site.php

Sad....Reg seems like a good guy. There's gotta be more to the story.........

National Enquirer: Handicapped and unable to find a job, Danny Philbin, 43 — the only son of talk-show host Regis Philbin — is struggling to eke out a living. "Our finances have gotten so bad we had to file for debt consolidation, and we barely have enough money to eat. Sometimes we have to borrow money from friends to buy food!" Danny's wife Judy told The ENQUIRER. Wheelchair-bound Danny sells crafts to help pay medical bills. "But at this point, we don't even have enough money to pay the $70 fee for a booth at a craft fair," says Judy. The second child of Regis and his first wife Catherine Faylen, Danny was born with a spinal cord defect that eventually led to a double amputation."Danny is also hurting emotionally, but he just won’t open up to his father. I hope Regis reads this story in The ENQUIRER and reaches out to his son. Danny needs him now more than ever.”

I was going to mock her, but I thought better of it. She seems like she has her head on straight! She just may a chance at a normal life. Good for her!Daily Mail:Emma - who is set to start university in America in September - also claimed she is uncomfortable with her £10 million fortune.The star, who still lives at home in Oxford with her mum Jacqueline and younger brother Alex, says she has 'no use' for her millions.The A-list actress claims she wants a normal life - preferring to spend the night at the cinema with friends.She said: 'Why would someone my age need this much money? Let's face it, I don't really have any use for it.'It may sound weird, but I just want to be like my friends and they don't have that kind of money.'So if they are going to the cinema, I go to the cinema. I try to live a regular life, but it's not always easy.

Cate Blanchett says all her pregnancies have been "surprises".The 39-year-old actress - who has three sons, seven-year-old Dashiell John, four-year-old Roman Robert and eight-month-old Ignatius Martin, with husband Andrew Upton - admits she has been stunned each time she has found out she is expecting.She said: "My pregnancy with Ignatius was surreal. He was a surprise. But they've all been surprises. We didn't get married to have children. So when they've popped along it's been 'whoops!' but it's been great."Cate also revealed despite having an Oscar under her belt for her role in 2004 movie 'The Aviator', she still has to turn down roles she would have liked to take because of her family commitments.She added to Canada's Toronto Star newspaper: "You can pick and choose as much as a mother can pick and choose. I have three kids, two of them are in school, and my husband and I are running a theatre company. I have a few months off a year, and films can't always wait."Cate recently revealed she thinks it is her "responsibility" to have lots of children because she is "halfway decent-looking".She said: "The world is so massively overpopulated, but if you're halfway decent-looking and you make nice ones, then I think it's probably your responsibility to make more. That's why we just have to have more of them!"

Will they end up slamming each other in song likerappers???National Enquirer:A furious Janet Jackson is vowing to strike back at Beyonce for publicly ridiculing the way her parents raised her."Beyonce's remark came out of left field and really stung Janet," a family insider told The ENQUIRER.In describing her own childhood, Beyonce recently told a reporter: "I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We're African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we're like The Jacksons."Then came the zinger: "But I didn't have parents using me to get out of a bad situation."When Janet heard about the slam, "she blew up," revealed the insider."Yes, Janet and the Jackson family came from Gary, Indiana, and there was a time they barely squeaked by. But Janet has many loving memories and is incensed that Beyonce would make a crack like that."Janet wanted to know why Beyonce had to mention her family. They're not friends and barely know each other. She feels Beyonce went out of her way to tell the world she's from the upper class and the Jacksons were like a bunch of dirty gutter rats."Janet is proud of her family and how they came from nothing and became superstars."Not only is Janet telling everyone who will listen that Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do and that she needs to stop trying to impress everyone, she's planning to confront Beyonce herself and read her the riot act."
